Just waiting for this to arrive....any minute now.....!

Off to find a shady spot, with Your Cat and Gramophone, football reports and sundry unread Guardian sections....New Scientist on Mindfulness....

And two matches later. International Football is so time-consuming, isn't it? Bach will have to join the queue....

Please let me know your opinion, HD. I’m very tempted by this.

Oh dear! I took a subscription out for Apple Music so I could download pop songs to my ‘phone to use in the gym. I discovered I could listen to this by streaming it through my mobile. Just listened twice whilst doing the hedge!

Very good indeed with superb playing but I could have done with a bit more drama and excitement at key points.

Good grief! You had (very loud!!?) Brahms in competition with the hedge trimmers? Or were you following Brahms' rhythms with your shears...?

The poor old BFO (even in lossless, I hope) never had a chance.....

I was using a pair of heavy duty loppers to cut the hedge down to its bare essentials in anticipation of hiring a chipper to mush it down. It’s unbelievably overgrown due to me neglecting it.

I've just listened to the Symphony again - and the Second Serenade - via Qobuz. By comparison with Herbert Blomstedt's recent Leipzig Brahms - different symphonies so a general observation - which is dramatic and suitably thrilling, it does sound a bit tame. I wonder, though, if that might be an issue with the slightly recessed-sounding recording and whether it wouldn't open out a bit in SACD, particularly in multi-channel. I don't have 6 channel here but in Scotland where I have found that Fischer's Mahler, Rachmaninov, Dvorak etc invariably sound better in multi-channel SACD. Great woodwind in the Serenade - almost as good as Kertesz and the LSO!

I remember seeing a drama programme on, iirc, ITV(!) about the life of Sir Thomas Beecham who was played by Timothy West. As part of the project saw him conducting, The Halle, led by Michael Davis, was dutifully employed. Obviously, Timothy West was extremely good at characterising Sir Thomas but his conducting technique was basic so I was very surprised to hear him and the orchestra attempt the beginning of Brahms 3. Inevitably, it was a bit of a shambles with Michael Davis doing some scroll waggling in an attempt to keep it all together. I wondered who choose that particular work knowing it’s one of the most difficult starts in symphonic music.

You can watch it here, in several parts. Yes, it was made by Yorkshire Television.

It's fun -- different from the original (which I also liked)

This is based on Luc Ferrari's Les Anecdotiques. It's more of the same, but it's very good more of the same! On spotify.

Just began with this last night..... as I'd expect from virtuoso fortepiano-specialist Professor Pashchenko, No.9 goes very well indeed......
